Why Powder-Free Compliance Matters for Your Facility
- FDA regulation 21 CFR 880.5920 / 880.5910 prohibits powdered exam and surgeon's gloves - non-compliance carries risk during inspection
- Cornstarch powder is a carrier for latex proteins and a documented allergen - eliminating it reduces both patient and staff sensitization risk
- Wound care and surgical environments require powder-free to prevent granuloma formation from powder contamination
- Pharmacy and cleanroom operations require powder-free to prevent contamination of sterile drug preparations
- Documentation of powder-free purchasing may be required by accreditation bodies including The Joint Commission

Frequently Asked Questions
Why are all nitrile gloves now powder free in clinical settings?
The FDA banned powdered patient examination gloves and powdered surgeon’s gloves effective January 2017 after determining that the risks to health outweighed the benefits. Cornstarch powder acts as a carrier for latex proteins (increasing sensitization risk), causes wound granuloma formation when contaminating surgical sites, and increases respiratory sensitization risk in clinical environments. No powdered clinical exam or surgical gloves should be in use in any US healthcare facility today.
Do I need to document powder-free status for Joint Commission purposes?
Many accreditation programs, including The Joint Commission, may require documentation confirming that a facility’s glove supply is powder-free compliant. MAP Medical can provide manufacturer specification sheets confirming FDA-compliant powder-free status for all nitrile lines in our catalog. Contact our team for documentation by SKU.
